Thanks Peter, I am also declaring relevant firmware in the kernel for CPU microcode and GPU, but they do not get loaded when I build kernel 4.14.7: $ grep FIRMWARE /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="intel-ucode/06-1e-05 radeon/R700_rlc.bin radeon/ RV730_smc.bin radeon/RV710_uvd.bin" CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/" # CONFIG_CYPRESS_FIRMWARE is not set # CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE is not set CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y # CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE is not set # CONFIG_TEST_FIRMWARE is not set So I can't load a desktop because xserver will not launch. I also recall having additional firmware for WiFi/BT cards on this laptop. The same problem exists on other systems, some running AMD. -- Regards, Mick
